Here's a diet that seems to be the opposite of the Morning Banana diet: the Big Breakfast Diet. Women dieters ate 610 calories for breakfast, 395 for lunch, and 235 for dinner, for a total of 1,240 calories.

To lose weight and keep it off, eat a big breakfast packed with carbohydrates and protein, then follow a low-carb, low-calorie diet the rest of the day, a small study suggests.
The "big breakfast" diet works, researchers say, because it controls appetite and satisfies cravings for sweets and starches. It's also healthier than popular low-carb diets because it allows people to eat more fiber- and vitamin-rich fruit, according to Dr. Daniela Jakubowicz, of the Hospital de Clinicas in Caracas, Venezuela.
